Link Budget for Low Bandwidth and Coded Ultrasonic Indoor Location Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives a comparison of a low bandwidth, long range ultrasonic indoor communication system for room-level localization and a wide bandwidth coded system. The comparison is done using the link budget and focuses on range. Robustness, reliability and a range greater than 10 meters can be accomplished by coding 8 kHz bandwidth ultrasonic signals. Pseudo-random properties of the codes permit to manage simultaneous emissions by using CDMA while processing gain permits to obtain a large range with the capability of accurate positioning. Keywords—Ultrasound; codes; CDMA

A Novel Broadband Ultrasonic Location System
Indoor ultrasonic location systems provide fine-grained position data to ubiquitous computing applications. However, the ultrasonic location systems previously developed utilize narrowband transducers, and thus perform poorly in the presence of noise and are constrained by the fact that signal collisions must be avoided. In this paper, we present a novel ultrasonic location system which utilize...
متن کاملEffect of Underwater Ambient Noise on Quadraphase Phase-shift Keying Acoustic Sensor Network Links in Extremely Low Frequency Band
This study evaluates the impact of underwater ambient noise using seven real noise samples; Dolphin, Rain, Ferry, Sonar, Bubbles, Lightning, and Outboard Motor in three frequency ranges in extremely low frequency (ELF) band. The ELF band is the most significant bandwidth for underwater long-range communication. ELF band which is extended from 3 to 3000 Hz clearly, faces bandwidth limitation. Me...

متن کاملILONA: indoor localization and navigation system
Indoor positioning is a hot topic these days and there is a growing need for it in public buildings such as airports, hospitals, universities or shopping malls. Indoor positioning systems should be accurate, easily available for the users, with low installation and maintenance cost, which makes development challenging. Existing systems are based on various technologies such as ultrasonic, RFID,...
متن کاملReal-Time Distance Measurement for Indoor Positioning System Using Spread Spectrum Ultrasonic Waves
The fields of application for position information have been expanded along with developments in the information-driven society. Outdoor position information systems such as car navigation systems that use the global positioning system (GPS) have spread widely. On the other hand, indoor position information is also important for humans and robots for self-location and guided navigation along ro...
